Yes, thanks. I had seen just it in this past week on YouTube; they do nice work. In the slow-mo footage of the fans running up the hill on the north side of the Graceland gates, you can see what I always thought I saw in early '79: "Tuffy" muffler shop. I had no idea when I arrived that there was no wall on the other side. Never seen an "estate" or a "mansion" with one wall, and a Tuffy muffler shop next to it. Told me that Elvis was "real people." Not some shallow Hollywood star, but "real people." And that accounts for the response to his death, I think. He as a "working class hero" - for real, if there ever was one.
